Last weekend, I photographed Neeta Mirchandani and Andrew Renner’s wedding in Atlanta.
I met the couple for the first time on the night before the wedding, but I immediately felt like a close family friend. Neeta and Andrew are both warm, loving, fun people and it was a joy to be with them and their families on this special day.
The ceremony was rooted in Indian tradition, so the entire wedding party all wore customary Indian clothes. Neeta needed a bit of help from her mother when it was time to get into her sari.
(Nikon D3, 14-24 lens, ISO 1600, 1/160 sec, f/2.8. One SB-800 strobe off camera bounced off the ceiling and one SB-800 placed on the floor near the door behind the bride.)
At an Indian wedding, the groom is supposed to be treated like a god. Andy’s brothers didn’t think they were worthy of being in his presence.

I made a portrait of the couple near the hotel’s indoor pool.
(Nikon D3, 70-200 lens, ISO 800, 1/80 sec, f/4. Two SB-900 strobes into a Chimera softbox at camera left, a gold reflector at camera right, and one SB-800 with a blue gel skimmed off the surface of the pool.)
I’ll post more of the photos in the coming weeks as I edit them.
